Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 jar nacho cheese or Queso cheese dip
- 6 extra large flour tortillas
- 6 tostada shells
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- cooking spray
Instructions
In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook and crumble ground beef and onion until beef is no longer pink. Drain grease. Stir in the taco seasoning mix, water, and minced garlic. Continue to cook until it starts to boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Warm the nacho cheese sauce or Queso cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Place the flour tortillas on a large plate. Microwave for 20 seconds to warm them.
Lay one flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a heaping 1/2 cup of taco meat onto the center of the tortilla. Drizzle a couple of Tablespoons of nacho cheese over the meat. Top meat with one tostada shell. Spread a thin layer of sour cream over the tostada shell. Top with lettuce, tomato, and shredded Mexican cheese.
To fold the crunch wrap, start with the bottom of the flour tortilla and fold the edge up over the center. Continue to work your way around, folding the flour tortilla over the center fillings.
Repeat with all remaining tortillas, beef, tostadas, and fillings. You’ll have 6 crunch wraps total.
Spray a large, non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium to medium-low heat. Place one crunch wrap seam-side down onto the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden-brown. Carefully, flip over and cook the other side until golden-brown. Repeat the process with all crunch wraps. Serve immediately.
Servings
Yields: 6 Crunchwrap Supremes.
Storage and Reheating
Let the copycat crunchwrap supremes cool completely, then wrap them individually or place them in an airtight container. Keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until golden and heated through, or microwave for 1–2 minutes. To achieve that iconic crunch, pop them in a 350°F oven for 5 to 10 minutes to make them extra crispy.
Holly’s Tips for The Best Taco Bell Copycat Crunchwrap Supreme:
- Warm Your Tortillas: Microwaving flour tortillas for 20 seconds makes them more pliable, so folding is easier and less likely to tear.
- Even Layers: Spread ingredients evenly in the center to make folding the tortilla easier and prevent fillings from spilling out.
- Customize Your Crunchwrap Fillings: Swap ingredients or adjust quantities. Add black beans, sautéed peppers, or avocado to make it your own. Dip it in my Homemade Salsa for an extra burst of flavor!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Yes! You can assemble the Crunchwraps and keep them wrapped in the fridge for a few hours before cooking.
If you don’t have tostadas, bake corn tortillas at 425°F for 8 minutes or until golden and crispy. You can also use another flour tortilla for a softer version.
Cook the Crunchwrap seam-side down first in a lightly sprayed skillet until golden, then carefully flip to cook the other side. Using baked or pre-crisped tortillas ensures a crunchy texture.
To make a Crunchwrap Supreme (Copycat) gluten-free, use gluten-free flour tortillas instead of regular ones and swap the tostada shells or corn tortillas for certified gluten-free versions. Make sure all other ingredients are labeled gluten-free. Everything else in the recipe can stay the same.

I worked at Taco Bell for years the way you make a contract the only thing you’re missing is refried beans first you put the refi beans on the Tortilla and then you put the Shell the tostada shell on top of it then you put everything else that’s what holds the tostada shell in place so won’t be moving all around when you sit and make it like a baby diaper
How is this an actual copycat? This is assembled like taco bell but with generic ingredients as the recipe this would taste nothing like Taco Bell
You just explained yourself why it’s called a copycat and not the original. Thanks! 🙂

We made these last night and they were delish! Followed the recipe exactly, except we put the crunchwarp in the george forman grill instead of the skillet and it cooked evenly on both sides, no flipping required. Love all the healthy versions to try next time! : )
